Popular JoCo doughnut shop opens first Kansas City spot, with drive-thru, patio & more

For the past 50 years, Mr. D’s has served coffee and doughnuts in the Kansas City area, though only in Johnson County up to this point. As of this week, it’s expanded its footprint to include its first location on the Missouri side — and the first one with a drive-thru, too. Mr. D’s has opened its third location (fourth, if you include its spot inside AdventHealth in Lenexa) at 2001 W. Pennsylvania Ave. in the Crossroads. The longtime shop is finally giving KCMO a taste of what Kansans have been devouring for half a decade. It took over a 10,000 square-foot building next to the highway, which was formerly a Pinnacle Imports wine shop. Owner Johnny Chen said his team wanted to utilize as much of the larger space as possible. “We knocked down almost half of it to convert it into a drive-thru, which is all covered, and a patio,” he explained. Even after cutting through the building, this is Mr. D’s biggest spot yet. Chen and his wife, Boggie Otgonbayar, have owned Mr. D’s for the past seven years. In that time, they’ve opened a spot in the Lenexa Public Market and brought their doughnuts to shops

Fast-growing coffee chain opening Johnson County location soon

There’s undoubtedly a Yemeni coffee boom in the U.S. — and the Kansas City metro is no exception. Now yet another Yemeni coffee shop is poised to open in Johnson County soon, though fans of the cafés may recognize this brand. Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co. is opening a location in Leawood, tentatively by the end of December. The upcoming spot at 133rd Street and Mission Road (in the Market Square Shopping Center) will join the brand’s list of a few dozen locations in the U.S. and beyond. Franchise owner Rami Abboud told The Star that he plans to bring a friendly, hospitality-focused vibe to the brand’s first Kansas City area store. “Our goal is to make Qamaria more than just a place to pick up coffee, to be honest,” he said. “We put a lot of thought to make a warm atmosphere. We want people from all backgrounds to feel at home.” It will have all the typical offerings found in its locations in Michigan, Illinois, California, Texas and beyond. Some popular drinks include the signature Qamaria latte (steamed milk, espresso, cinnamon and cardamom), pistachio latte, Adeni chai, mango matcha, salted maple cold brew and more. Mankeesh (a Levantine flatbread),

Twenty-five kinds of homemade pie can sit in the lineup at once, and the meringue on some slices climbs so high it looks like a dare. That’s a normal day at one busy corner cafe in Kansas. Every crust gets crimped by hand. The fillings swing from peanut butter-chocolate...

A Chicago native picks her three favorite Windy City-style pies in KC

Traditional Chicago-style deep dish pizza is its own type of food science. A flaky, buttery, biscuit-like crust lines the bottom of the pan. Cheese hides the toppings, and red sauce hides the cheese—the cheese is buried below the sauce so that it doesn’t get scorched by the long bake required to cook a cake-thick crust. As a Chicagoland native, I can say with authority that Third Coast in Lenexa (7820 Quivira Road, Lenexa) makes a very solid deep dish pizza. The makeup of the pies is comparable to Chicago tourist trap Lou Malnati’s, but the slices hold themselves up way better, in my opinion, not falling to the sag and spoon-able soupiness that often comes with the deep dish territory. The deeper the pie, the more simple I keep the toppings, so I just stick with pepperoni here and let the crust do the talking.

New Johnson County restaurant, sports bar opens. Burgers, beers, more

For 40 years, Brooksider has offered cocktails, beers and watch parties in its namesake neighborhood. The walls of 6330 Brookside Plaza have held festivities since 1985. Father-son duo Chuck and Jack Naylor, meanwhile, have owned the bar for about 14 years. But the pair added a new chapter to Brooksider’s book Monday, with the opening of its second location. This one is across state lines, though it bears the same name as its original location. Brooksider’s new space — 5001 Town Center Drive in Leawood — offers multiple levels of indoor and outdoor dining. Altogether, it seats 688 patrons. Customers can experience a more intimate setting by choosing to sit in the cocktail lounge-style section. That area aims to give a “date night” vibe, said general manager Ryan Proffitt, though it’ll still have some TVs to broadcast Chiefs games. (The menu will be consistent throughout the restaurant, too.) An outdoor patio has its own bar, fire pits, heaters and televisions so customers can sit outside as long as possible. Another interior bar neighbors two dart boards and a long, narrow sun room. An upstairs event space plans to open soon, though Proffitt said it’s not quite ready. “We’re shooting for

Two University of Kansas students turned a downtown Lawrence storefront into the state's first Shawarma Press, and they just marked one year of keeping the Mediterranean counter busy near campus. Sisters Atrooba and Tahima Hashim opened the restaurant together at 947 New Hampshire Street, a spot that sits close enough to KU to pull in students between classes.
